Folk Night presents The Dandelion Few

Folk Night presents The Dandelion Few

-

Join us for the entrancing tunes of St. John’s-based folk duo The Dandelion Few.

The Dandelion Few are Tiffanie George (NL) & Seán Bradley (IRL). Since 2018, they have carved out for themselves a niche place within contemporary folk music within Newfoundland & Labrador. The band, originating in Dundalk, Ireland, make music that is as varied as it is pure, from stripped down ghost ballads depicting dark stories of island life, harmony rich introspective lullabies drawn from seasoned poetic depth, and full band arrangements that steer more towards the experimentations of late 60s golden era of folk rock.
The Dandelion Few have garnered four MusicNL nominations (Folk/Roots Artist of the Year, Group of the Year and Global Artist of the Year) to their credit along with numerous accolades including the Banff Center for Arts & Creativity Rogue Residency 2022. The group released their third studio recording “Ovv Vrese & Suond” in September 2024.
Often working in collaboration with other musicians and artists of various mediums, their performances have been described as poetic, pensive and intimate. With a background centered on artistic prowess, they continue to move forward with their harmony fused lyrical songs to the next creative endeavour.
